Thank you for joining us at the 8th annual Long Beach Comic

Con! For those of you who have attended the show in the past,

you’ll notice LOTS of awesome changes. Let’s see - an even

bigger exhibit hall filled with exhibitors ranging from comic book

publishers, comic and toy dealers, ENORMOUS artist alley, cosplay

corner, kids area, gaming area, laser tag, guest signing area and more.

We’re very proud of the guest list, which blends together some

of the hottest names in industries such as animation, video games,

comics, television and movies. We’re grateful for their support and

hope you spend a few minutes with each and every one of them over

the weekend. We’ve been asked about guests who appear on the list

but who don’t have a “home base” on the exhibit floor - there are times

when a guest can only participate in a signing or a panel, so we can’t

assign them a table. Please check the programming schedule to see if

your favorite creators are in that position so you don’t miss them.

Off the exhibit floor but every bit as exciting is our packed

programming area (known as the Seaside meeting rooms). There

you’ll find a huge range of sessions that includes our popular

#MakeComics program, the GeekFest Film Festival, Saturday Evening

Costume Contest with prizes awarded in several categories, and lots

of sessions for every interest level (including a kids-only track!).

We’re also excited that Long Beach Comic Con will be announcing

a new Comic Creators Conference (C3) that will be held in conjunction

with our spring show. Please mark your calendar for the Long Beach

Comic Expo on February 18 & 19 in 2017 as you won’t want to miss

it, and note our NEW DATE for 2017’s Long Beach Comic Con,

september 2-3!

Enjoy the Show,
